Actor Ravi Mohan has been making headlines since announcing his separation from wife Aarti Ravi in September 2024. He recently faced backlash for posting pictures with singer-healer Kenishaa Francis, and claimed that 'men are the biggest victims.' Trans activist Thanuja Singam hit back on behalf of Aarti Ravi, stating that Ravi seems 'nothing seems able to make you happy or fulfilled. My sister Aarthi could have.'
The controversy began when Ravi posted pictures with Kenishaa from the puja ceremony of his debut directorial, An Ordinary Man. The comments section was filled with criticism, with some calling out Ravi and Kenishaa for normalizing extramarital affairs. Ravi responded by saying he's 'quietly building his life' and that men are the biggest victims.
Thanuja Singam's response sparked a heated debate, with some defending her and others accusing her of being judgmental. Ravi and Aarti Ravi have been involved in a public feud, with Ravi alleging mental and financial abuse in their marriage. The Madras High Court has directed the couple to remove defamatory posts against each other.
